Þor

In this episode we take a closer look at arguably one of the most famous Norse Gods of all time, even rivaling his father's (Oðin's) fame; today the focus is on the God associated with the day of the week we know as Thursday - Þor! Was Þor actually more popular than Oðin during the Viking age? What did he represent and how was he viewed in comparison to the other Norse Gods? What has modern culture got wrong about Þor? And what does he have to do with Santa Claus and Irish Pubs? All of these answers and more. Don’t forget to rate, review, and help spread the word!
